It comes from Japan's most celebrated Jōmon settlement — the great Aomori village of monumental posts and a millennium of continuous occupation — and it is catalogued exactly as what it appears to be: a stone pendant. In profile it is a thin, elongated, end-hung blade — the silhouette that reads as a bullroarer wherever an ethnographer rather than an ornament specialist happens to describe it. It survives exactly as it must once have hung: labelled a pendant, photographed, and never asked to make a sound.","pull_quote":"","pull_quote_translation":"","pull_quote_cite":"","term_gloss":"石製垂飾品 (sekisei suishokuhin): 'stone pendant'","cls":"unknown","class_label":"Function not recorded","color":"#6B7884","is_candidate":true,"flags":[],"f_jade_complex":true,"f_women_taboo":false,"f_women_special":false,"f_snake":false,"f_archaeology":true,"archaeology_kind":"object","date_display":"c. 3950–3520 BC","date_qualification":"Early Jōmon phase of the settlement; object not directly dated.","date_basis":"cultural_phase","date_confidence":"medium","date_citation":"sanmaru_9530, Sanmaru Search object 9530; report route Sanmaru 35 Fig. 241-6","sources":[{"citation":"Aomori Prefecture, Sannai-Maruyama site, Sanmaru online database, object 9530 (石製垂飾品); Sannai-Maruyama report 35, fig. 241-6","url":"https://sannaimaruyama.pref.aomori.jp/sanmaru_search/detail/?c=9530","archive":"https://web.archive.org/web/20240229223844/https://sannaimaruyama.pref.aomori.jp/sanmaru_search/detail/?c=9530"}],"source_citations":"Aomori Prefecture, Sannai-Maruyama site, Sanmaru online database, object 9530 (石製垂飾品); Sannai-Maruyama report 35, fig. 241-6","source_display":"Aomori Prefecture, Sannai-Maruyama site, Sanmaru online database, object 9530 (石製垂飾品); Sannai-Maruyama report 35, fig. 241-6","date_citation_display":"Sanmaru Search object 9530; report route Sanmaru 35 Fig. 241-6","object_display":"A flat, tapering slab of green stone, ground smooth, 7.8 cm long, with one round hole near its narrow top.","function_display":"Catalogued as an Early Jōmon stone pendant (石製垂飾品) in the official Sannai-Maruyama database; no wear or function study is published.","confidence_display":"low to medium","attestation_label":"archaeological find","etymology_hedge":"","people_key":"sannai maruyama","display_name":"Sannai-Maruyama tapering greenstone pendant","image":{"full":"assets/objects/jade_candidates/sanmaru_search_9530_pendant.jpg","thumb":"assets/objects/jade_candidates/thumbs/sanmaru_search_9530_pendant_thumb.jpg","credit":"Sannai-Maruyama Site Center / Aomori Prefecture, Sanmaru Search (object no. 9530)","license":"CC BY 4.0","source_page":"https://sannaimaruyama.pref.aomori.jp/sanmaru_search/detail/?c=9530","rehosted":true,"representative":false,"caption":"Sannai-Maruyama tapering greenstone pendant (石製垂飾品), 7.8 cm long, pierced once near the top"},"slug":"ea-sannai-maruyama-9530-sannai-maruyama-official-stone-pendant-9530"}
